Does My Commercial Building Need An Automatic Door ID- Determining Criteria

By Anthony Graham


When a building has an automatic door fitted, there are a few reasons why your new entrance would not last as long as you expected. With such, we walk through each day we tend to forget that there is machinery inside and like all machines it requires maintenance. Keep an Eye on the following thins to prolong the life of your automatic door ID set.

Commercial entrance closers come in both manual and involuntary styles. Manual ones don't use electricity. Instead, they rely upon stored energy from applied force to close an entrance. Involuntary entrance closers (which are often referred to as involuntary entrance openers) use electricity to open and close an entrance. When deciding which style to use for your own business, consider these criteria:

A subtle benefit of this system is that it increases safety. It accomplishes this by minimizing congestion and providing a simple hands-free way to open and close entrances. The final pedestrian application which benefits businesses is simplicity. Involuntary entrance systems are the easiest way to lower the cost of compliance with various regulations such as the persons with disabilities regulations. During construction or remodeling it may be necessary for a building owner to provide barrier free access to their store. Involuntary systems allow them to do this simply and inexpensively.

The number of entrances you need to outfit. If your business has several public entrances, or one major entrance with several entranceways, then cost will play a major factor in your decision. Involuntary are more expensive than manual. Outfitting every single entrance with an involuntary model could test your budget. Instead, you may choose to install them on only one or two of your entrances and choose manual entrance closers for the rest to maximize your budget. However, if you have only one entrance for public use, an involuntary is probably your best choice.

In many instances, large industrial entrances are left wide open which makes it easy for trucks and heavy machinery to enter and exit the building. Unfortunately, consistently leaving an entrance open to the outside air can make the building uncomfortable. This is particularly true during the winter and hot summer months. In some situations it can also create an unsafe environment because anyone can walk through an open door and enter the facility.

Use it correctly-If your entrance system is not used correctly this will also result in the premature aging of your entrance, say the entrance is forcibly opened or closed without the automatic equipment doing its job, this could cause the wheels to come off its track for instance just like a train, what a disaster.

Interior mobility. You may need to install automatic entrance closers on one or more interior entrances as well. Again, it depends on your clientele, staff and how your building is used and navigated at different times and in different situations.

Quality of the internal components-When the supplier is ordering the components you should ask questions about the quality of the products and the warranty. You should also take into consideration the cost of replacement components for future reference as it can with some manufacturers cost more to maintain the door than the initial install. Ask first and you won't be stung later. In conclusion the main priorities are that you need to ensure the whole running and overall condition of the door is 100% otherwise this will cause your automatic door not to last long.
